Affect in Social Thinking and Behavior by Joseph P Forgas

The role of affect in how people think and behave in social situations has been a source of fascination to laymen and philosophers since time immemorial. This book reviews and integrates the research and theories on this topic, and features contributions reviewing key areas of affect research from leading researchers active in the area.

'In this handbook volume, Joe Forgas gathered the very best psychologists and asked them to talk about the causes and consequences of affect in social lifeThe conversation is wide-ranging and illuminating. From evolution to neuroscience to decision-making, these chapters force us to think new thoughts, and to rethink some old ones.' - Daniel Gilbert, Department of Psychology, Harvard University, author of Stumbling on Happiness
